Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very troublesome. Can balanitis be cured? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
It is the most common type of disease. Most patients have excessive foreskin. Between the glans and the excessive foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed by shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, inflammation can be triggered. Treatment can involve scrubbing the affected area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then applying an antibiotic ointment, using antibiotics appropriately, and recovery typically occurs within a few days. Thank you.In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial.
